Chapter 344 - 284: The Thirty Six Kings of Yun Province, The Jade Army’s Summons! (Double - )
Passing through all the way back to the Fifth District.
In the days after Su Qingqing left, he and Song Ping’an remained at the inn here.
It’s not that they couldn’t afford inns in other districts, it just wasn’t necessary to spend unnecessary money since all inns were more or less the same.
Returning to the room.
Song Changming opened the iron box he carried with him.
The box was always wrapped in his innate qi aura, preventing the spiritual energy emitted by the Mountain Ginseng Spirit inside from leaking out and being detected.
He opened the iron box, and the Mountain Ginseng Spirit lay quietly inside, motionless, as if in a deep slumber.
It wasn’t until Song Changming touched it that it suddenly woke up, its fine tendrils swinging wildly.
Seeing that it was Song Changming who opened the iron box, it finally seemed to wake up from a dream and relaxed.
Without further ado, Song Changming directly wrapped the Spirit Locking Talisman he bought around the body of the Mountain Ginseng Spirit, making it look as if it were wearing a towel.
The talisman paper was full of indecipherable patterns and symbols, intricate yet carrying a special spiritual charm.
Song Changming used his spiritual power to connect with the Spirit Locking Talisman.
The next moment.
Buzz!
The patterns and symbols on the surface of the Spirit Locking Talisman seemed to come alive.
They released incredibly strong intangible chains, forming a powerful restraint that firmly locked the Mountain Ginseng Spirit, unable to move or escape.
Evidently, the Spirit Locking Talisman was performing its maximum restraining function.
Meanwhile, Song Changming’s spiritual power remained connected to the Spirit Locking Talisman, allowing him to monitor the Mountain Ginseng Spirit’s state anytime, anywhere.
Should it exhibit any slight movements, he would detect it immediately.
With this, it was almost enough.
"Do you have a name?" Song Changming suddenly asked.
"No." The Mountain Ginseng Spirit exhaled a puff of spiritual mist, drawing out characters.
Since it gained intelligence and became a spirit, it had mostly been alone. The so-called name was of no use, naturally having no opportunity to choose one.
"Then I’ll call you Xiaojin." Song Changming stated directly.
Song Changming knew that those beings from the Demon Race also had the habit of naming themselves, especially those who mingled closely with the Human Race, imitating their naming conventions.
The two big dogs he always carried with him were named Dahuang and White, so the Mountain Ginseng Spirit was casually given a name in the same series.
The Mountain Ginseng Spirit didn’t mind; it was more concerned about when it could break free from Song Changming and regain its freedom.
It hadn’t told Song Changming that a Spirit Locking Talisman could only trap it for a year.
After a year, when the Spirit Locking Talisman loses its effect, it would have the chance to escape.
"In that case, let’s begin." Song Changming sat cross-legged and said.
Xiaojin lay on the bed beside, appearing very sensible, and activated its traction force.
The surrounding spiritual energy began to converge towards Song Changming’s room, eventually enveloping him in a visible small area of solid spiritual mist.
Song Changming was in it, as if he were in a spring emitting spiritual energy, and his qi refining efficiency soared, at least fifty percent stronger than usual!
"It seems more effective than when I was in the wild..." Song Changming mused.
He assumed it was because he was in the city, where more spiritual energy gathered, and with the guidance of the Mountain Ginseng Spirit, the effect was naturally different.
Thus, his demand for Spirit Crystals wasn’t as urgent anymore.
During cultivation, the role of this Mountain Ginseng Spirit could, to a certain extent, replace Spirit Crystals.
Of course, if there were extra Spirit Crystals to squander freely, helping with cultivation, the effects when combined would be even more outstanding.
But for now, Song Changming wasn’t in a hurry; nothing was achieved overnight, and life was gradually improving.
Back when he first began practicing martial arts, he also grew step by step from the very bottom, moving from the small city of Donglai, experiencing dynastic changes, traversing the Da Lai World.
Now upon reaching the Ancient Abyss Country, his starting point was much stronger than before, no longer starting from such a meager beginning.
As long as his strength kept steadily increasing, with time, he would surpass everything!
Then over the course of a month or more.
The earth martial vein in Song Changming’s body, which he had opened, harbored a visibly more abundant amount of innate qi aura.
Using spiritual power to measure, the reserve of this innate qi aura had nearly doubled compared to more than a month ago!
Of course, such a large increase was also due to him having just entered the Innate Realm, with his reserve of innate qi aura being minimal at first.
Thus, without going into other factors, if he were to fly again, he wouldn’t quickly find himself in a predicament where his innate qi aura was insufficient.
Beside him, Xiaojin exhaled a piece of spiritual mist, weakly writing a line of words.
"I need heavenly and earthly treasures to replenish, otherwise, over time, I will die..."
Song Changming looked over, furrowed his brows, and said: "So troublesome? Can’t you absorb the heaven and earth spiritual qi to replenish?"
Xiaojin saw Song Changming being stingy, and couldn’t help but get angry, jumping and saying: "I am such a rare treasure of the world, merely absorbing heaven and earth spiritual qi is insufficient, you’re trying to starve me!"
"Then what kind of heavenly and earthly treasures do you want?" Song Changming asked.
"Something like that Purple Celestial Net you had last time would do."
"Impossible." Song Changming refused without hesitation.
He now understood how precious that purple flower, also known as the Purple Celestial Net, which the Mountain Ginseng Spirit snatched from him earlier, was.
In the main city’s pharmacies, such a plant, regardless of quality, was worth at least several medium-grade Spirit Crystals, equivalent to the price of a Spirit Locking Talisman.
It wasn’t that he lacked Spirit Crystals; even if he had them, he wouldn’t be so extravagant as to feed this level of heavenly and earthly treasures to the Mountain Ginseng Spirit.
